The backward thinking of closing deals when the rest of the company is working to keep accounts open needs to stop. Social Selling is about opening, not closing. Once sale people accept this, they will be ready to sell in the 21st century.

We teach B2B Social Selling

Since 2009, Linking into Sales has been helping sales professionals understand how to use social media to engage prospects and clients.

Social Selling was developed in response to the changing buyer's behavior. Buyers have turned to the internet to do research and self educate before contacting a sales person. A sales person must be able to enter the buyer's journey earlier. This is accomplished by using the social selling strategies you will learn from Linking into Sales.

Social Listening is listening for the digital footsteps of your customer to find the right time join them in their buyer's journey.
